vehicle repossession

Kathi sued the lender and they settled out of court. Would use her firm again in a heartbeat. I was kept up to date through the whole process and that meant a lot. Very knowledgeable in their areas of practice.

Fights to Protect the consumer

After researching for an auto fraud attorney there was Mrs. Rawls name at the top of the internet page. I contacted Mrs. Rawls after discovering my vehicle had Frame damage, when I went to trade it at another dealership. I read through the reviews and decided to give her a call and see what she tho...ught about my situation. She spent over hour and half with me discussing my options and answered every question without hesitation. Her knowledge, professionalism, and dedication to protecting consumers from the wrong doing of businesses are beyond what words can say. After a year on the job the dealership and bank settle the case for an undisclosed amount. I have found a Lawyer you can trust. If I have any more issues when it comes to the law I will be contacting her.

Excellent Attorney, Kind, Caring, and Won't go down withouth a fight.

I hired Kathi in Nov 2011 for a legal case which many Attorneys wouldn't touch due to the confusing nature of it. Kathi took it on full force. She was very forth coming and kept me well in formed. Being active duty military with a security clearance i could not lose this case. She knew that was top p...riority and fought for me. She is an amazing person and has a very charismatic personality. She will be my top choice in legal matters for hear on out.

Kathi Will Fight For You!

Kathi Rawls was very professional and helped me solve my legal matters during a very difficult time in my life. She was kind and respectful but she didn’t baby me, she never kept me in the dark and took the time to explain and help me understand the proceedings. If any of my friends or family have ...legal matters I always refer them to Kathi. She has never let me down.
